Click, clunk, BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Another retro movie weekend is here and ready to rock our lives with its movie goodness.

Dragging out, plumbing in and hooking up our trusty pressure washer, we find ourselves faced with the dirty decking from hell. Covered with many years of weather and BBQ good times, the once light and solid decking has now become darkened with age and pretty sorry for itself in places. Firing up the water machine from the future, we quickly begin to splash some lift back into it. With each pass of super high pressure water, we will reveal the hidden beauty.

Great towering heights! Another retro movie weekend had landed and is here to guide us through the weekend like a trusty friend who just always seems to make life more fun.

Swipe, pinch and stroke, we find ourselves facing what seems like a never ending wall of soft but sturdy carpet. Running our hands along each piece as if we're walking a field of tall grass, we eventually stumble upon the most perfect of them all. The right feel, the right colour and at just the right price, we quickly size up and order our fabric of choice before another shade steals our hearts again.

Noot! Noot!

It's true! Our childhood hero Pingu has just arrived here at Truffle Towers and is already causing quite a splash!

First launched back in 1986 and running for a whopping 157 mischief filled episodes, Pingu has been such a classic part of many of our childhoods and has always remained one of our best-loved characters ever. Often finding himself in tricky and seriously funny situations, the mischievous penguin meets the weird and wonderful challenges of life head on, as he grows into a cooler and wiser penguin along the way.

As suuuuch big fans of this little guy and his family, it was only a matter of time before we opener our doors to some super cool Pingu Merchandise.... and here it is!

Filled to the brim with retro nostalgia, we've managed to get our little penguin wings on some amazing new Pingu Mugs which are sure to complete your commute thanks to our trusty Pingu Travel Mug, and spice up any morning tea round at home or work with this sweet new Pingu Mug...

Splish, splash... another retro movie weekend is here! Let's stir up some super sweet retro movie goodness.

Clicking on the kettle like shaking hands with an old and trusted friend, we'll begin to gather all the essential bits and bobs from all the various locations. Selecting the perfect mug from the bunch, we'll pluck out our next tea baggy victim, throw in just the right amount of sugar and then begin to fill our mug to the perfect level. Watching the clear liquid quickly turn into a familiar shade of brown with a stir with the spoon, we'll begin to dream of the tea creation we are so close to complete before we can sit back and enjoy the weekends retro movie wonder.

Sweet home Alabama! Another retro movie weekend has come among us and is here to bring adventure, drama and some good old fashioned fun!

Click-lock and looking good! Ripping up the old and warn carpet like a dog hunting for a bone, we'll quickly reveal the bare boards which hide below.
